Catnip or Catmint is not only for our feline friends, but it also boasts a wide variety of benefits for humans too.  As a member of the mint family, it contains a wide range of beneficial compounds, nepetalactone (which gives its characteristic smell), Citral, Geraniol, citronella, neroli, thymol, and limonene.

Catnip acts as a mild nervine, which can ease the mind and body when under stress.  With catnip’s stress relieving properties it is also a great sleep aid by acting as a sedative and assisting in regular sleep cycles.

Catnip tea or topical oil has shown promise in assisting the body against headaches.
